Iie GmbH & Co. Kg manages a company patent portfolio in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The portfolio currently has 2 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This distribution shows that the company's prosecution is spread across different technical specialties and individual reviewers within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is BOLTON, WILLIAM A, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. The involvement of the distinct examiners and art units suggests a more diversified prosecution strategy compared to portfolios where all actions are concentrated under a single examiner. Each pending action is currently being reviewed by a different individual in a different administrative unit, requiring the company to navigate multiple examiner perspectives.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
